[QUOTE="WingedLiberty, post: 1125241, member: 26030"]Speaking of toned Franklins and crazy prices ... Take a gander at this 1963-D MS64FBL Toned Franklin Current bid price [B]$615.93[/B] ... HOLY COW! And the auction still has 1.5 days to go so the final price might be higher. PCGS says the retail price on this date and grade is between $48 and $78. So that's an approximate 10x premium for toning!! [url]http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320666978396&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT[/url] I mean I do like the obverse, but is it worth 10x the normal price? The other thing I wanted to ask the experts is look at the horizontal scratches on the reverse, aren't those improper cleaning (abrasion) lines?
